Question about accessing fuel pump area
Hi,
How to access Bonneville'* fuel pump area? Remove the carpet of trunk, close to rear seat? Unscrew a small cover over there?
Another question is, when Bonneville started to equipped with 3800 II engine? Is it from 1997?
The story is I have a 97 Grand Prix GTP, my fuel pump connector has some problem now, I would go to auto wreckers to get one from Grand Prix (97 -- 03), Bonneville (? -- ?) and Regal (97 -- 03). I think they share the same thing.
Thanks a lot!

I'd like to toss out an obvious suggestion that most people overlook when planning a gas tank drop. DON'T FILL UP Run it as dry as you can w/o dying on the road. Gas is probably about the same 8lbs per gallon as water. Then add the dry tank weight...
So many people keep the tank full and try to do it that way...spend half the day siphoning it out only to have nowhere to put it but in their buddies tank.

Yup, when I do my Fuel pump... I will run the tank down below 1/4.... It will then be light enough to work with...
I already know my FP is slowly working its way out of this world..

Yeah...well.. if planned on monkey'n with it...plan a light tank. It'* big and awkward enough w/o being 16 gallons * 8lbs/each gallon = too freakin heavy not to hurt yourself in the process. Usually a band aid won't help after a couple hundred pounds of fuel tank fell on you.

In the past I have seen a hand pump that you insert into the tank and pump the fuel out... Had a neoghbor once who had one... Man that thing sure could come in handy
